Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4070 better than Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 26,919 vs 1,166 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4070 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is a 2020 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 4070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2020, 2208.7% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 GB instead of Unknown, and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR upscaling. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 4070 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4070 is about 299.3% more expensive on MSRP at $599 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 2208.7% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is 2020 hardware with Unknown of VRAM, 1,166 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
